Whoever is of a generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s contribution . . . (Ex 35:5)
When God made the nation of Israel into his own special possession, he gave instructions for building a tabernacle to demonstrate his presence in the midst of his people. It was a wonderful gift. Adam and Eve had forfeited the blessing of fellowship with God through their sin, but now God was reversing the sentence of judgement and coming to dwell with his people. No human being rich or poor could have caused God to do this; but God, because he loved Israel and had chosen her to be his own, decided to demonstrate his love and saving power in this way.
Though the gift was God’s, he invited his people to share in the joy by contributing to the material needs of the tabernacle: gold, silver, bronze, yarn and linen. Whoever was of a generous heart was invited to give. How wonderful it is to see what happened: the craftsmen who were doing the work said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do” (Ex 36:5). The people must have grasped something of the joy and privilege of experiencing God’s presence in their midst.

One of a seminary's greatest needs is a good library. Students must be able to access a good range of books so that they can be thoroughly grounded in the Word and in sound theology. In places like Africa, where students do not have many books of their own, library facilities become all the more important. Faculty members must also have adequate resources for research and preparation of lectures and study material. Since Sovereign Grace Theological Seminary is still new, our library facilities are very limited.
Here is an opportunity to help train men of God by contributing a book to our library. You might even like to celebrate your birthday by giving a book to the Seminary.
